Al termine del workshop le borracce resteranno con me per circa una settimana per l'applicazione della vernice protettiva che fissa i colori e le rende utilizzabili. Potrai ritirare la tua borraccia finita la settimana successiva. Ho già realizzato questo laboratorio con bambini fino ai 13 anni e i risultati sono stati sorprendenti. Qui puoi vedere alcune foto delle loro creazioni. Quota di partecipazione: 50 € Inclusi nel prezzo: borraccia, tutti i materiali, colazione (brioche + caffè o succo), guida passo dopo passo e verniciatura finale protettiva.

Un viaggio attraverso le musiche originali dei più grandi compositori per lo schermo: dai capolavori di Ennio Morricone — il poeta indiscusso della colonna sonora — alle note indimenticabili di Nino Rota, dalle emozioni travolgenti di Hans Zimmer alle lacrime silenziose di Michael Giacchino, fino ai temi iconici che ancora oggi risuonano nelle sale di tutto il mondo.

Perché le grandi colonne sonore non hanno bisogno dello schermo per farti rivivere ogni scena. **Luigi Russo**, violino **Ludovica Cordova**, violoncello **PROGRAMMA** A. Vivaldi – L’Estate, 3° mov.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“A Deep Dive into the Declaration of Independence,”** on the origins and impact of America’s founding document, with Denver Brunsman, chairman of George Washington University’s history department, lecturer at Mount Vernon, and noted scholar of early American history and the American Revolution. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-deep-dive-into-declaration](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-deep-dive-into-declaration) .] The celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary will take on much deeper meaning if you take time to fully understand and appreciate the document that declared our independence from England and gave rise to the American experiment. Learn essential lessons about the Declaration of Independence from Denver Brunsman, an incredibly engaging speaker who has built a big following among Profs and Pints fans in and around Washington D.C. Professor Brunsman will start by discussing the Declaration’s background, composition, and philosophical underpinnings. You’ll learn how by 1776 American colonists had resisted British policies for thirteen years and endured open warfare with Britain for more than a year. We’ll look at how this imperial crisis influenced the Declaration’s primary author, Thomas Jefferson, as well as the larger Declaration Committee and the Second Continental Congress. In recent years, scholars have focused particularly on the previously underappreciated grievance section of the Declaration. Rather than simply being an afterthought to the more famous preamble (“all men are created equal”), the grievances followed a logical order that carefully presented the case against King George III and the British Empire for a “candid world” to consider. Professor Brunsman will fill you in on how that list of grievances rallied Americans and other nations to the cause. A document both timeless and of its time, the Declaration quickly soared beyond its humble origins as a committee report to become synonymous with American independence and an inspiration for rebellion elsewhere. Dr. Brunsman will consider the place of the Declaration in American life, from the eighteenth century to today, and how the document helped shape much of American history while influencing “the course of human events” throughout the world. The talk will close with customary toasts from the American revolutionary era. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: From an idealized Jean Leon Gerome Ferris painting of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams drafting the Declaration of Independence.
